“When I was 8, I walked into GGYC not knowing what it was and what it provided - I was just there because my brother was there. Now, over a decade later, I am still part of this incredible initiative because I know exactly what it offers, and how impactful it is for local and foreign community members. GGYC has given many opportunities for community members like me to grow and develop our physical and academic knowledge. It is an honour to be a member of GGYC, and now as a staff, I wish to continue supporting my community members just the way I was once supported!”

“Go Green Youth Centre is the gold standard for bringing positive change to youth in Don Valley West. From its beginning as a training centre for youth to learn and play cricket, GGYC has been engaging young residents of Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park in a wide range of sports, educational and community service programming in the summer and throughout the year. GGYC’s work has now trained a new generation of leaders to make our city, province and country better. I am proud to provide ongoing support to their growth and have seen firsthand the results of their service: young people assisted by GGYC consistently emerge as our next generation of young adult leaders.”

“As the City Councillor of Don Valley West and former Chair of the TDSB, I’m so thankful to have the Go Green Youth Centre (GGYC) support children in my ward. This organization helps ensure every child feels safe, included, and supported in the Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park communities. In an increasingly digital world, physical youth programs are more important

than ever to provide children with the right tools they need to succeed, be happy, and be active. GGYC doesn’t just provide a place to play; they empower and elevate youth in our

communities.”

"As a former Toronto Police Officer and current City Councillor, I have seen firsthand the difference between a youth-at-risk and a youth with a mentor. Go Green Youth Centre is the bridge. Their unique blend of sports and education doesn't just occupy time; it builds the leadership and resilience necessary for a healthier Don Valley East. I have witnessed this transformation firsthand and am proud to stand behind their mission, they definitely hit above their weight!"
